3.Cardinals trade Patrick Peterson to the Chiefs
Chiefs get: Patrick Peterson
Cardinals get: 2020 first-round pick
Patrick Peterson won't come out and say it, but it kind of seems like he doesn't want to play for the Cardinals anymore. Just to give you a little refresher on the Peterson situation: The Cardinals corner demanded a trade back in October, only to apologize for making that demand a few months later, but the situation didn't end there, because now, it looks like he wants to be traded again. Peterson has removed the Cardinals name from all of his social media accounts and he's spent the past month taking passive-aggressive shots at the team. If you've ever watched literally any reality show involving a Millennial, those are usually the first two signs that a breakup is coming.
Peterson even posted a photo of some of his former teammates who are no longer with him in Arizona, and that photo had an interesting caption, "My boys told me to watch out for the snakes in the long grass!"
With a new Cardinals coaching staff now in place, it would make since for them to start fresh with players who actually want to be in Arizona. Clearly, Peterson isn't one of those players.
If the Cards start to shop Peterson, every team in the NFL should call them with an offer. Not only is he a three-time All-Pro corner, but he's also under contract for the next two seasons at the very reasonable rates of $11 million (2019) and $12.05 million (2020).
Although Peterson could get dealt anywhere, we're sending him to the Chiefs and that's because Kansas City has been doing everything possible to beef up a defensive unit that couldn't stop anyone while ranking 31st overall in the NFL last season. After watching his defense choke away the AFC title game, Andy Reid is clearly trying to make sure that doesn't happen again.
Not only have the Chiefs already traded for Frank Clark and Emmanuel Ogbah, but they've also signed Tyrann Mathieu, Alex Okafor and Damien Wilson. If the Chiefs were to add Peterson to the mix, the defense would be nearly as scary as their offense. Also, based on Peterson's Instagram picture, it seems Peterson would probably be pretty excited about the chance to reunite with Mathieu.
I have breaking news out of the Midwest. Sources close to the situation tell me that #Kansas coach Bill Self is leaving KU to take the Chicago Bulls opening at the end of the year. #kubball#NBA#bulls#RockChalk

I mean, sure, we'd have to wait a few years after the Mahomes+first+first+etc. for Peterson deal to see if we actually win back-to-back Super Bowls, but it sure would be great!
Pitt Gorilla and I are going to need some of you frothing cunts to simmer on down now. PP does not fit the mold of the Brett Veach first round pick trade. And, one aging CB is not going to guarantee a fucking super bowl win. [Reply]

You shut that garbage fucking mouth.
I, for one, welcome our new PP overlord(s). [Reply]

Veach needs to put up the siege wall and starve Arizona out. PP is an experienced veteran who can march right into camp on day one and hit the ground running.
We must let the hate build and fester day by glorious day until the Cuntsbury Doughboy and his GM associate understand full and well that the Chiefs aren't a bunch of fools to be trifled with. after our last two high-profile acquisitions, the entire league needs to understand exactly where we stand. And we send that message out now with the acquisition of PP. [Reply]
Does Chiefsplanet have the strength, will, and fortitude to see it through? No instant gratty on this one; only those CP warriors with the will of a thousand Shaolin monks will successfully deliver the prize to 1 Arrowhead Drive.
The enemy of the desert are weak but extremely arrogant, and their fortifications against the armies of the plains well dug-in and stocked.
This battle of wills, the battle to control the destiny of the PP, could determine the very survival and eternal destiny of the army of the plains.
